Should Farang Get a Thai Passport?

Toddy

You know if you take the Thai missus to live in UK that after about 3 years or something she can apply for a UK passport (if you are legally married - not just village ceremony married). Should the same apply for Farang living with the missus in LOS. Would that be a good thing, do you think?

Would you want a Thai passport, Toddy? It will never happen! And I'm not sure if it would be a good thing for me. I think it would make life a bit easier in some respects (visas for example) but in other ways I think it could complicate matters and could make life more difficult for some foreigners. I'll have to think about expanding on that.

I wouldn't mind having a Thai passport (but I would not give up my British passport).

You are right - it will never happen. I was amazed that Farang can get a Thai passport at all - I know it is something of a tortuous process - but I was still surprised. Thai being somewhat nationalistic - good luck to them in a way.
